Unimpressed on 03/28/2011
I have been a resident of 730 Dovercourt for a few years, I used to live on the 15th floor. During those years, we had at least 3 occasions where bedbugs attacked. We always kept our apartment extremely clean with no food or dirt lying around, yet they still came back.
Of course, we let the management know and to my surprise they were not very accommodating. They told us they would get someone to come and spray the place, but no one got back to us and we had to call back a few times before t
hey got on top of things.
Overall I would not recommend this apartment as the high apartment costs are not worth the bed bugs, indifferent management, and smaller than average rooms.

We have been living in this building for almost five years and have had friends and neighbors who have both had them and we have had bedbugs twice 2 years apart.
The bugs love to bite me and I have really bad allergic reaction to the bites and I swell up and each bite ends up bubbling and I usually end up with a skin infection that I need antibiotics on.
First incident April 2008 and the second October 1.
The prep work for bed bug spraying is intense and I have spent so much money on bed b
ug free mattress covers bins to seal things in in case this happens again. I want to move because they keep moving through the building they have finally started treating the inside of the light switches and electrical outlets.
At the same time A neighbor 5 floors above me was being treated as well.
My friend had them so bad in the building across that the entire floor had to be sprayed.
The Building is fine and pays for the spraying but It doesn't seem to last before the bugs are on the move.
A super told my friend that she brought them when he knows how common they are.
Before you move in make sure it's sprayed.

I live in a high-rise apartment building.
Had been getting mysterious red marks on the skin over the period of a few months, then one day I killed a bedbug running across my living room wall. After comparing with images of bedbugs online, there was no mistaking what it was. Immediately informed the building management, who scheduled a pest control company to come in the following week. While waiting for pest control the bites continued and I caught a bedbug crawling up my
leg while I was at the computer.
The exterminator came with a glorified squirtgun, told us to stay out for a few hours, and was walking out the door in under 10 min. It has been a week and a half since the treatment, and the bites continue in full force. We just saw another live bug today. We were told to wait a couple weeks before asking for a second treatment, but we will be calling very soon.
